The CLR North Tarentaise Federal Wells -- Elm Tree

Locator: 10010CLRNTF.

Updates

November 17, 2023: see this note. The fly in this ointment: according to the application, the spacing unit for this well is an overlapping 3840-acre unit, sections 6, 5, 8, 7, 18, 19. So, let's post the company's planning diagram for this well (and pad). Posted here.

November 17, 2023: I wonder if I didn’t misread the DAR incorrectly. We’ll know shortly. But it looks like I had the surface sites and bottom hole locations reversed in the narrative and in the map below. If so, these are going to be short laterals; 640-acre spacing, to be sited in section 19, with long directionals running north into NENW section 18. I’m not going to re-draw the map now; if I’m correct now, simply see the “blue oval” in the map below as the bottom hole locations with surface holes in the section to the south.

Seven new permits, #39772 - #39778, inclusive:

• Operator: CLR
• Field: Elm Tree (McKenzie)
• Comments: 
• CLR has permits for seven North Tarentaise Federal wells in SENW 19-153-94; lot 1, section 18-153-94; NENW 19-153-94; NWNE 18-153-94; NENE 18-153-94; 
• all to be sited 1650 FNL and between 2286 FWL and 2094 FWL;
• still on confidential, not exactly sure where the horizontals will run  
• the way the wells will be sited suggests they will originate in section 18 and then run south into section 19; 
• if they run north, they would go into Petro-Hunt's Phelps Bay play
• if they run three sections south, they would run into Hess' Antelope play, suggesting that that these will 1280-arcre spacing, running to the south, but they are certainly sited too far south to leave some oil stranded to the north in section 18.
• the "south" Tarentaise wells run west - east, so ... who knows?
